Horny Goat is a porter aged in oak barrels.
It pours a reddish dark brown with an off-white head.
Flavor starts with a balance of hops and oaky vanilla, gets sweeter and maltier, and finishes with a slight hops bitterness
Beer Advocate gives it an 80-84 or "good" rating. Rate Beer is slightly harsher on it, giving the beer a 72 overall and a 48 for the style. Both of these are in the ballpark of my own 8/10 rating.
I sampled this at The Daily Growler in mid-March 2013. I've seen the beer for sale in bottles at Kenny Road Market and Whole Foods in Dublin (inside the Beer Cave).
ABV: 7.5%
IBU: Unknown, but I'd guess low 30's or high 20's
My Rating: 8/10
